This crisp spring slaw is a simple way to support your body’s natural detoxification pathways. Green cabbage provides glucosinolates that help activate liver enzymes, while beets deliver betalains—powerful phytonutrients that support antioxidant activity and healthy bile flow. Carrots add protective carotenoids, and fresh herbs like parsley, dill, and chives offer additional plant compounds that support digestion and fluid balance. Tossed with a bright lemon and olive oil dressing with fresh zest, this slaw helps gently stimulate digestion and elimination. Serve alongside grilled fish, roasted chicken, or a simple legume dish, or enjoy it on its own for a light, refreshing meal.
